^Hey, the Smurfs writers is more of a red flag. No. Not even a red flag. More like an iceberg. I'd written the movie off, but with Genndy on board there's at least a chance of the movie being interesting, if not thoroughly good.

Oh man, I didn't even notice the Smurfs guys were involved. Them plus Avi Arad? This could go horribly wrong.
Well, I'm pulling for you Popeye fans out there. I hope you guys get something good out of this.

[quote]AVC: Speaking of the mixture of humor and action, you’re now working on a Popeye movie. What’s your take on the character? Are you going for something more akin to the Fleischer cartoons, or the original E.C. Segar strip, or your own interpretation?
GT: For me, Popeye is definitely the Fleischer cartoons. That’s what I grew up with. I’ve been re-reading some of the comic strips, but the animation is really what captured my attention. My whole idea, and agreement to doing Popeye, was to do an animated physical comedy. That, for sure, isn’t really around in animation, and I feel like it’s so ripe. When we were doing our early test screenings with Hotel Transylvania, we would have 300 people, half of them kids. We’d have a dialogue joke, and—crickets. [Laughs.] But then we would have Frank jumping off the tentacle into the water, and the whole room is laughing. Roaring. You realize children and adults love physical humor, when it’s done right. I was like, “If we could just do a movie that was designed that way—written that way—it could be really something special.â€
